This could result in removable radioactivity, which is a potential source of human exposure to radiation and specifically to internal contamination. The purpose of this study was to determine if there is removable radioactivity on cats treated with I\u2010131. Daily wipe tests were performed for 7 days at two sites (both flanks, one site; and all four paws, one site) on six hyperthyroid cats treated with I\u2010131. A \u03b3 counter was used to determine the counts per minute (cpm) of the samples, which were converted to disintegrations per minute (dpm) to estimate activity. The results were compared to the New York State limits of removable activity for a non\u2010controlled area (&lt;1000\u2003dpm\/100\u2003cm<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>) to determine if the amount of removable activity was acceptable for a member of the public. The median value of removable activity was 241\u2003dpm (range from 34 to 4184\u2003dpm) for the flanks, and 308\u2003dpm (range from 60 to 1890\u2003dpm) for the paws. The amount of removable radioactivity on the surface of hospitalized cats treated with I\u2010131 during the first week after treatment, occasionally and without obvious pattern, exceeded the New York State limit. Sporadic activity as high as 4148\u2003dpm was found. It is prudent to advise owners to observe routine hygiene when handling cats after discharge to minimize the risk of internal contamination.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1740-8261.2006.00175.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,8,29]],"date-time":"2006-08-29T15:08:04Z","timestamp":1156864084000},"page":"507-509","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["IDENTIFYING REMOVABLE RADIOACTIVITY ON THE SURFACE OF CATS DURING THE FIRST WEEK AFTER TREATMENT WITH IODINE 131"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"47","author":[{"given":"H.
